Film History for the Anthropocene
"From its beginnings, some of German film's most prominent genres and directors have focused on the natural world and its transformations by humans. Heimat films, "city symphonies," mountain films, and rubble films all blend the boundary between landscape documentary and fiction film. Yet German film studies has been slow to adopt an environmental focus, concentrating (understandably) on its subject matter's political implications. This book reveals critical connections between German film, sociopolitical context, and environment, showing it to have been a creative catalyst for the social and ecological transformation of the Anthropocene.

The Sunny Side of Hell
Whoever said life is a bowl of cherries was an idiot. Life is a minefield strewn with disappointment and death, a veritable hell on earth. The only proper response I can think of is to laugh my way through it all. - Max Grimes The Sunny Side of Hell frolics through the minefield of life, revealing in its blackly humorous tales the myriad ways humans attempt to navigate their way through the explosions of fate, chance and happenstance. From deadly juveniles and octogenarian rebels to pixilated spinsters and a boy who has lost his puppy, these tales reveal the dark humor inherent in the human condition. If life is a veritable hell on earth as Max Grimes claims, then what better way to respond to it than by taking his advice and laughing through it all. So read these tales, keep laughing and stay on The Sunny Side of Hell. * Bonus content this edition only, Professor's X's Famous Existential Quiz: Should I Be?
Heimat and Migration
Discourses of Heimat and of migration both negotiate questions of identity, belonging, and integration; moreover, despite the reemergence of right-wing, racist, and exclusionary uses of the term Heimat, there are in fact more recent German-language cultural texts that problematize and challenge a view of Heimat as a community that excludes the Other than there are promulgating it. This volume addresses the parallel proliferation of discourses of Heimat and of migration in contemporary German-language culture and demonstrates that the entanglement of migration and Heimat can be productive: it can help us to reframe what it means to have a home, to lose one, find one, or belong to one.
Known Military Dead During the American Revolutionary War, 1775-1783
The War of 1812 was fought by eighteen states--the original thirteen states that formed the Union, as well as Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Louisiana. In the preparation of this work, the compiler surveyed the records of the National Archives, as well as many of the libes and archives of the eighteen states in which fatalities were recorded. The end result is an authoritative list of some 3,500 known military dead of the War of 1812. The entries, which are alphabetically arranged, give the name of the deceased, his rank, the name of his company or branch of service, his date of death, and an indication as to whether the individual died in battle or as a prisoner of war.
